Great visual to understand Presidential Elections

How I Use It

I use this tool when I teach Presidential Elections. In the past I usually get more engagement from students during an election year and they are really interested in the break down of states. I have used it during non-election years as a tool for students to make predictions on the upcoming elections based on current news data as well as mid-term election data. I also break the class down into the 50 states and the District of Columbia and have them go through the school to have teachers vote for M&Ms or skittles and use the website to determine the winner. To include a third party I sometimes throw in peanut M&Ms.
